Paul, I love this. I would add that network shows got the benefit of the writers room working WHILE the show was in production. Bill Lawrence got to change Cougar Town 3 episodes in, because he hadn't already written 22 episodes and sent his room packing. Flexibility is built into the network model.

Think how many showrunners realized after watching a few episodes that 2 actors were hilarious together and needed to be matched up way more than they were in the pilot. The streaming model doesn't let writers/actors utilize the chemistry they find.
